No Love Lost between Sofia Vergara and Modern Family's Stella

While attending PaleyFest 2012 on Wednesday, Sofia Vergara revealed she's as equally unnerved by French bulldog Stella as her onscreen counterpart, Gloria Pritchett – thanks to a little ribbing by show creator Steven Levitan.

"It's not that I hate the dog!" she said. "It's that I'm not used to having a little dog on top of me and licking."

Levitan shared that when shooting scenes with Stella, whose real name is Brigitte, Vergara naturally adopts a disgusted expression.

"Sofia's a wonderful actor," he said, "but she's not that good of an actor."
